Discover Oberaudorf: Hocheck and the History Trail
Accommodation in Oberaudorf
Oberaudorf brings together two distinct vacation highlights. At Hocheck, disc golf and the summer toboggan run offer active experiences, while the Oberaudorf History Trail connects local history with stops at Luegsteinsee and Grafenloch Cave and the story of the Auerburg ruins. At the end of the trail, an optional detour to the Heimatmuseum in the castle gate is also planned. When looking for a holiday apartment, this distinction can help you decide which experiences should shape your trip: an activity-focused day at Hocheck, a focus on cultural history, or a mix of both. This lets you weigh your interests and compare the location of a specific accommodation with the experiences you want.
Disc Golf and the Summer Toboggan Run at Hocheck
The disc golf course at Hocheck has nine holes. Three are right next to the mountain station, and six are next to the mid-station. This distribution makes both stations useful reference points for the activity. The TÜV-certified summer toboggan run offers a different perspective on Hocheck: it is around 1,000 metres long and runs downhill from the mid-station to the valley station. The length describes the run; its start and end points also help with planning.
The two activities offer different experiences: the disc golf holes are spread across two stations, while the summer toboggan run follows the route from the mid-station to the valley station. If you are planning a trip with several people who have different interests, these specific differences can help you decide what you want to focus on during your vacation. You can then compare your choice with the location of a holiday apartment in Oberaudorf.
The History Trail and the Heimatmuseum in the Castle Gate
The Oberaudorf History Trail passes Luegsteinsee and Grafenloch Cave. Along the way, you can also explore the history of the Auerburg ruins; a detour to the Heimatmuseum in the castle gate at the end is optional. The museum in the historic castle gate displays exhibits and offers insights into geology, settlement, shipping on the Inn, Auerburg, mountain riflemen and tourism. The Auerburg provides a link between the museum’s subject matter and the History Trail. The exhibits currently on display may vary.
Seasonal opening hours are listed as Tuesdays and Sundays from May to October, from 2 to 6 p.m. Check whether these hours are current before visiting. This lets you include a possible museum detour in your plans while also treating the trail itself as a cultural-history highlight.
More to explore in the wider Rosenheim destination
The wider Rosenheim destination offers additional cultural and nature-related themes. In Amerang, the museum in the castle provides insights into castle architecture and the history of the noble family. The Amerang Farmhouse Museum, run by the District of Upper Bavaria, showcases farmhouses, craft buildings and technical facilities from the Chiemgau region. The Amerang Open-Air Museum offers individual guided tours and group options; offerings may change, and groups may need to arrange their visit in advance.
Another way to experience the landscape is the moorland nature trail between Amerang and Halfing, established in 2010. It explains how the moorland formed after the Ice Age and introduces the local animal and plant life. The wider Rosenheim destination thus brings together different themes: castle architecture, historic farmsteads and crafts, and the development of a moorland landscape. This regional addition offers further interests to consider when planning a trip, without equating them with the experiences in Oberaudorf.
Choose accommodation to suit your interests
When choosing a holiday apartment in Oberaudorf, it is worth first deciding which experiences matter most to you: should your trip focus mainly on activities at Hocheck, local history, or both?
